Charging the Battery

A travel adapter and a battery charger are provided

for charging your batteries.

Using the Travel Adapter

The travel adapter allows you to use the phone

while the battery is charging, but this will cause the

battery to charge more slowly.

1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug

the connector of the travel adapter into the jack

at the bottom of the phone.

Make sure that the arrow on the connector is

facing toward the front of the phone.

2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.

The battery strength icon on the display shows

that the battery is charging.

Getting Started

19

3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter

from both the power outlet and the phone by

pressing the buttons on both sides of the

connector and pulling the connector out.

Note

: Do not remove the battery from the phone

without unplugging the adapter while it is

charging. Otherwise, the phone may be

damaged.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of

talk time remain, the battery sensor will let you

know by blinking the empty battery strength icon

( ) and you will hear a warning tone and a “LOW

BATTERY WARNING!” message will be repeated at

regular intervals on the display. When the battery

becomes too weak for the phone to operate, it

switches off automatically.

Switching On or Off the Phone

1. Open the phone.

2. Press and hold the key for more than one

second to switch on the phone.
